The ECG test is commonly doing in a Diagnostic Centres. The electrocardiogram test or commonly known as the ECG test is an efficient test that helps detect problems related to the electrical activity of the heart. In Best Diagnostic Centre in Kotkapura ECG displays the electrical function of the heart in the form of line tracings on a piece of paper. The fluctuations (dips and spikes) observe on the tracing paper are known as waves.

An electrocardiogram test is basically done by:-

Check the electrical activity of the heart.

Explain the causes of unexpected chest pain. This can be cause by a heart attack, inflammation of the sac that surrounds the heart, or a blockage in the arteries.

Look for the cause of the symptoms of heart-related illness.

Check if the walls of the heart are too thick.

Check the effectiveness of prescribed medications against heart disease and check if they are causing any side effects.

Check the functionality of mechanical devices implanted in the heart, such as pacemakers, etc.

Check the health of the heart in the presence of any chronic disease or infection in the body.

Why is an ECG test necessary?

The entire purpose of an ECG test is actually design to evaluate a patient’s cardiac activity. This is a test that always helps determine the root cause of recurring chest pain, which may be present due to angina or pericarditis.

If the patient is diagnose with any kind of heart disease be it some dizziness or seven short breaths or even palpitations, the cause of all such conditions is well determine by the ECG test can be do.

The ECG test is so effective that it also knows whether the medicines given to the patient are effective or not. It is also doing to identify if there are any side effects, which may eventually lead to a heart relate problem.

How is the ECG test done?

During the test in Best Diagnostic Centre in Kotkapura the patient is made lying on the bed.

Parts of the body such as arms, legs and chest are clean and shave if necessary. This provides a clean, smooth area for connecting the electrodes.

Several electrodes are place on the skin on each leg, arm, and chest. These are then connect to a machine that measures heart function.

In addition, after the test begins, the patient is ask to lie still and breathe normally. Sometimes, one may be order to hold their breath. This is usually a part of the test and is do to look for the presence of any abnormalities in the heart.

How long does the test take?

An ECG test is usually complete in a matter of 30 minutes, with the actual test time being only about 5 to 10 minutes.

How are ECG test results interpret?

When reading the result of an electrocardiogram test, the doctor looks at the pattern of spikes and dips on the ECG sheet to determine the electrical activity in different parts of the heart. Fluctuations (spikes and dips) are classified into different classes that demonstrate heart function.

What affects the test result?

There are some factors that affect test results. These are as follows:-

When the electrodes do not have properties attached to the skin.

When the patient walks or talks during the procedure.

When the patient does some exercise before the test.

When the patient feels anxious during the test or takes rapid or very deep breaths.

How ECG Machine Works?

The patient simply lies down on an examination table, while ten to twelve electrodes (leads) are attach to specific areas of the body, such as the chest, arms, armpits, and legs. These electrodes are able to detect electrical impulses that originate from a person’s heart, and then transmit them to an ECG machine which then prints a graph or tracing showing the results of those electrical impulses.

In Best Diagnostic Centre in Kotkapura the procedure can take less than five minutes to complete and provides a lot of valuable cardiovascular information.

The cost of ECG test is highly reasonable and is offering by all the leading pathology laboratories and medical centers in the country. Testing should be doing with utmost accuracy to get the best results and detect underlying problems.

In case of any health concerns or concerns, one should not hesitate to undergo diagnostic tests. If we want to lead a healthier and more conscious life then we should make the most of such facilities.
